SCSI access for Solaris

PPSD is a driver for Solaris that handles embedded SCSI-2 and CCS-compatible SCSI direct access drives, a.k.a. hard disks, CD-ROM, WORM and MO drives. Unlike the default sd(7d) driver, it is able to access disks that don't have a SunOS/Solaris "disklabel". Hence, with this driver you no longer need to set the scsi flag in mtools.conf, and you no longer need to install mtools setuid-root.
